Sharing my Snacks in the Morning
Everyday when I come to the farm I arrive early so I make sure to bring some food with me for a morning snack. Throughout the morning I eat when I feel hungry and often I am joined by a free roaming chicken or two looking to share with me. There are several chickens that get to roam free on the Dancing Goat Farm and they like to follow me around waiting for me to get something to eat so they can share. I always bring extra snacks so when I share with the chickens as well as the goats there is going to be enough for all of us. I always enjoy sharing my snacks with the goats who are always more than happy to eat whatever I offer them. For instance when I am eating a banana I give little pieces to the chickens and when I am done I let the goats eat the peel which they really enjoy. When the goats get a snack they always make sure to thank me with a gentle head butt or a big kiss. The faces they make in anticipation of getting their snacks is priceless and it is impossible to ignore them and that is the reason why I always make sure to have enough snacks with me when I am at the farm. Well I will be back early tomorrow morning so check back soon for more stories and pictures from the City Boy on the Farm.

Chico the Man
It was foggy and overcast this morning at the Dancing Goat Farm. All the chickens, quails and goats seemed happy because it had cooled down a little bit. After I did all of the cleaning, feeding and egg gathering I took time to visit with the rescue cats as well as my special friend Chico the Man. Chico is a two year old Fancy Rooster that Pam held for a year until the day came when he was supposed to go home but his owners told Pam they didn't want Chico anymore and that she could do whatever she wanted with him. Well Pam's heart is so big that once she got the news about Chico she decided to let the farm be his forever home without any hesitation. It is hard not to feel bad for Chico being left behind for a year and then being left behind forever but he is better off here at the farm with his three wives and all his friends. I always make sure I spend time with Chico whenever I am at the farm and I tell him how special he is and let him know he will always have a home. Well I will be back again in the morning so make sure to check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm for more stories and pictures. Also check out City Boy on the Farm @ Facebook.

Tex visits with the Goats
This morning I was greeted at my car by Tex and a few of the other free roaming chickens on the Dancing Goat Farm. As soon as I got out of my car I gave out a few snacks and as I was walking up to the farm those chickens followed me hoping on getting something else to eat. The weather was beautiful and there was a nice breeze which all the animals seemed to be enjoying. I was in a hurry today so I got right to work cleaning, feeding and gathering the eggs. When I was done I made sure to take the time to check on all the animals as well as hand out a few more snacks to my special friends. As I was leaving I noticed Tex in one of the outdoor enclosures visiting with the goats he is very social and I guess that's also one of the perks of being a free roaming rooster. Well I will be back tomorrow so check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm and also please check out my Facebook page which is City Boy on the Farm for daily posts.

Two New Baby Goats
Happy Holidays to everyone I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. While we were all celebrating the holiday two new beautiful baby goats were born. The first one born is named Alaska and she is very active and healthy she is such a beautiful little girl. The second baby goat that was born is a boy and his name is Expresso Bean he is a little smaller than most baby boys but he is healthy and happy. This is a great time of the year at the farm because we are expecting more baby goats in the next few weeks. Because of the arrival of the new babies we are looking for nannies to help feed and care for them so if you're interested in helping please contact Pam Lunn on Facebook at The Dancing Goat. It is such a pleasure to spend time with the baby goats I could not imagine that anyone would not enjoy also spending time with them. It is obvious that the babies are very cute for example when I got to the farm this morning it was chilly so both of the baby goats were wearing tiny jackets with hoods I couldn't believe how cute they were it made me smile and laugh there is not much that they do that isn't adorable. Well I'll be back tomorrow and I'll make sure to get more pictures to share with you so check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm.

Watching Over the Eggs
I have been very busy the last week dealing with some personal issues but everything has worked out great. I still have come to the farm as I always do and all the animals are doing great and enjoying the beautiful weather. All the goats have been very active and they are doing their best to make as many babies as possible. We had our first new baby goat of the season on Saturday night her name is Alaska and she is beautiful and healthy and she is doing very well. It is also the time of the year that the chickens start to lay a larger number of eggs. This morning while I was gathering the eggs I was surprised to see how many had been laid. When I got to the final cage I came across a hen who was keeping a watchful eye on her eggs as I was getting ready to gather them. She fluttered around for a little while as well as complained but eventually she let me finish my work. I always make sure to be patient and kind when I remove the eggs and I also always encourage the hens to start the process over again. Well I will be back at the farm again tomorrow morning sorry about my temporary absence but I will be blogging regularly again so please check back soon to see how all the animals and the City Boy on the Farm are doing. Also take the time to check out our Facebook page City Boy on the Farm.

Spending Time with Missy
Every time I go to the Dancing Goat Farm during and after doing my work I interact with the animals to let them know they are loved and to also check on them to make sure they are doing well. Even though the farm is mostly chickens, quails and goats there are a few other special animals including an eighteen year old horse named Missy. Missy is a quarter horse with a free spirit who has been a part of the farm since 2001. When the weather is nice Missy can be found outside running around in her private enclosure. When I visit with Missy I always make sure to bring her a special snack even though her favorite is peanut butter and jelly she will pretty much eat anything. She also always enjoys it when I stroke her neck as well as rub her ears it always adds to my day when I spend time with her. I will be back at the farm tomorrow so check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm for more pictures, stories and interesting information.
